I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it and you are going to tr
1 answer:
Answer:
Δx = 25 ft.
Explanation:
Assuming that the person on the ground starts running at the same time as the egg is dropped, we have two simultaneous trajectories:
1 ) Egg falling:
If the egg is dropped, and we neglect the air resistance, we can use the kinematic equation that relates the distance and fall time, as follows:
yf-y₀ = 1/2* g* t²
If we take the up direction as positive, we can solve for t as follows:
0-100 ft = 1/2* (-32.15 ft/s²)* t²
⇒ t = = 2.5 sec.
2) Person on the ground running away:
In order to be able to run away, and then return to catch the egg, running at constant speed, he must run during exactly the half of the time that the egg is falling, i.e., 1.25 sec.
We can get the distance at which he can reach, applying the definition of velocity:
v = (xf-x₀) / (tfi-t₀)
If we choose t₀=0 and x₀ = 0 , we can solve for xf, as follows:
xf = v*t = 20 ft/sec*1.25 sec = 25 ft.

Complete Question
For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of this material elongate when a true stress of 411 MPa (59610 psi) is applied if the original length is 470 mm (18.50 in.)?Assume a value of 0.22 for the strain-hardening exponent, n.
Answer:
The elongation is
Explanation:
In order to gain a good understanding of this solution let define some terms
True Stress
A true stress can be defined as the quotient obtained when instantaneous applied load is divided by instantaneous cross-sectional area of a material it can be denoted as .
True Strain
A true strain can be defined as the value obtained when the natural logarithm quotient of instantaneous gauge length divided by original gauge length of a material is being bend out of shape by a uni-axial force. it can be denoted as .
The mathematical relation between stress to strain on the plastic region of deformation is
Where K is a constant
n is known as the strain hardening exponent
This constant K can be obtained as follows
No substituting from the question we have
Making the subject from the equation above
From the definition we mentioned instantaneous length and this can be obtained mathematically as follows
Where
is the instantaneous length
is the original length
We can also obtain the elongated length mathematically as follows
Answer:
Thermal resistance for a wall depends on the material, the thickness of the wall and the cross-section area.
Explanation:
Current flow and heat flow are very similar when we are talking about 1-dimensional energy transfer. Attached you can see a picture we can use to describe the heat flow between the ends of the wall. First of all, a temperature difference is required to flow heat from one side to the other, just like voltage is required for current flow. You can also see that represents the thermal resistance. The next image explains more about the parameters which define the value of the thermal resistances which are the following:
- Wall Thickness. More thickness, more thermal resistance.
- Material thermal conductivity (unique value for each material). More conductivity, less thermal resistance.
- Cross-section Area. More cross-section area, less thermal resistance.
A expression to define the thermal resistance for the wall is as follows: , where l is the distance between the tow sides of the wall, that is to say the wall thickness; A is the cross-section area and k is the material conducitivity.
